REVISÃO SINÓPTICA DO COMÉRCIO E PRODUÇÃO FLORESTAL E DE PRODUTOS FLORESTAIS NA ÁFRICA

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Resumo / Resumen

Objetiva avaliar os produtos florestais da África, nomeadamente Produtos Florestais Madeireiros (PAMs) e Produtos Florestais Não-madeireiros (PNMs) nos dezesseis (16) países da África Ocidental. O estudo identificou uma avaliação sistemática dos produtos florestais mais comuns (produtos florestais madeireiros e não madeireiros) considerando os dados disponíveis sobre as reservas florestais nacionais dos países selecionados da África Ocidental. O estudo também revelou a necessidade de conservação da biodiversidade das reservas florestais disponíveis para ajudar a mitigar o impacto do aquecimento global visando o Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 13 das Nações Unidas - Ação Climática. Isso está focado na integração da mitigação das mudanças climáticas, adaptação, redução de impacto e sinais de alerta precoce nas políticas nacionais, melhorando o planejamento florestal e a educação em gestão, conscientização e capacidade institucional na sub-região.
